     or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, which are inhibitors of TAM kinases which are useful for the treatment of disorders such as cancer.

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62/204,131 entitled “Bicyclic Fused Pyrimidine Compounds as TAM Inhibitors” filed on Aug. 12, 2015, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

TECHNICAL FIELD

This application relates to pyrrolopyrimidine or imidazopyrimidine inhibitors of TAM kinases, which are useful in the treatment of disorders such as cancer, as well as pharmaceutical compositions related thereto.

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are cell surface proteins that transmit signals from the extracellular environment to the cell cytoplasm and nucleus to regulate cellular events such as survival, growth, proliferation, differentiation, adhesion and migration.

The TAM subfamily consists of three RTKs including Tyro3, AXL and Mer (Graham et al., 2014, Nature Reviews Cancer 14, 769-785; Linger et al., 2008, Advances in Cancer Research 100, 35-83). TAM kinases are characterized by an extracellular ligand binding domain consisting of two immunoglobulin-like domains and two fibronectin type III domains. Two ligands, growth arrest specific 6 (GAS6) and protein S (PROS1), have been identified for TAM kinases. GAS6 can bind to and activate all three TAM kinases, while PROS1 is a ligand for Mer and Tyro3 (Graham et al., 2014, Nature Reviews Cancer 14, 769-785).

AXL (also known as UFO, ARK, JTK11 and TYRO7) was originally identified as a transforming gene from DNA of patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia (O'Bryan et al., 1991, Mol Cell Biol 11, 5016-5031; Graham et al., 2014, Nature Reviews Cancer 14, 769-785; Linger et al., 2008, Advances in Cancer Research 100, 35-83). GAS6 binds to AXL and induces subsequent auto-phosphorylation and activation of AXL tyrosine kinase. AXL activates several downstream signaling pathways including PI3K-Akt, Raf-MAPK, PLC-PKC (Feneyrolles et al., 2014, Molecular Cancer Therapeutics 13, 2141-2148; Linger et al., 2008, Advances in Cancer Research 100, 35-83).

MER (also known as MERTK, EYK, RYK, RP38, NYK and TYRO12) was originally identified as a phospho-protein from a lymphoblastoid expression library (Graham et al., 1995, Oncogene 10, 2349-2359; Graham et al., 2014, Nature Reviews Cancer 14, 769-785; Linger et al., 2008, Advances in Cancer Research 100, 35-83). Both GAS6 and PROS1 can bind to Mer and induce the phosphorylation and activation of Mer kinase (Lew et al., 2014). Like AXL, MER activation also conveys downstream signaling pathways including PI3K-Akt and Raf-MAPK (Linger et al., 2008, Advances in Cancer Research 100, 35-83).

TYRO3 (also known as DTK, SKY, RSE, BRT, TIF, ETK2) was originally identified through a PCR-based cloning study (Lai et al., Neuron 6, 691-70, 1991; Graham et al., 2014, Nature Reviews Cancer 14, 769-785; Linger et al., 2008, Advances in Cancer Research 100, 35-83). Both ligands, GAS6 and PROS1, can bind to and activate TYRO3. Although the signaling pathways downstream of TYRO3 activation are the least studied among TAM RTKs, it appears that both PI3K-Akt and Raf-MAPK pathways are involved (Linger et al., 2008, Advances in Cancer Research 100, 35-83). AXL, MER and TYRO3 are found to be over-expressed in cancer cells.

Accordingly, there is a need in the art for compounds and methods of use thereof for the modulation of TAM kinases in treatment of cancer.

It is further appreciated that certain features of the invention, which are, for clarity, described in the context of separate embodiments, can also be provided in combination in a single embodiment. Conversely, various features of the invention which are, for brevity, described in the context of a single embodiment, can also be provided separately or in any suitable subcombination.

At various places in the present specification, substituents of compounds of the invention are disclosed in groups or in ranges. It is specifically intended that the invention include each and every individual subcombination of the members of such groups and ranges. For example, the term “C₁₋₆ alkyl” is specifically intended to individually disclose methyl, ethyl, C₃ alkyl, C₄ alkyl, C₅ alkyl, and C₆ alkyl.

At certain places, the definitions or embodiments refer to specific rings (e.g., an azetidine ring, a pyridine ring, etc.). Unless otherwise indicated, these rings can be attached any ring member provided that the valency of the atom is not exceeded. For example, an azetidine ring may be attached at any position of the ring, whereas an azetidin-3-yl ring is attached at the 3-position.

The term “n-membered” where n is an integer typically describes the number of ring-forming atoms in a moiety where the number of ring-forming atoms is n. For example, piperidinyl is an example of a 6-membered heterocycloalkyl ring, pyrazolyl is an example of a 5-membered heteroaryl ring, pyridyl is an example of a 6-membered heteroaryl ring, and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-naphthalene is an example of a 10-membered cycloalkyl group.

For compounds of the invention in which a variable appears more than once, each variable can be a different moiety independently selected from the group defining the variable. For example, where a structure is described having two R groups that are simultaneously present on the same compound, the two R groups can represent different moieties independently selected from the group defined for R. In another example, when an optionally multiple substituent is designated in the form:

then it is to be understood that substituent R can occur p number of times on the ring, and R can be a different moiety at each occurrence. It is to be understood that each R group may replace any hydrogen atom attached to a ring atom, including one or both of the (CH₂)_(n) hydrogen atoms. Further, in the above example, should the variable Q be defined to include hydrogens, such as when Q is said to be CH₂, NH, etc., any floating substituent such as R in the above example, can replace a hydrogen of the Q variable as well as a hydrogen in any other non-variable component of the ring.

As used herein, the phrase “optionally substituted” means unsubstituted or substituted. The substituents are independently selected, and substitution may be at any chemically accessible position. As used herein, the term “substituted” means that a hydrogen atom is removed and replaced by a substituent. A single divalent substituent, e.g., oxo, can replace two hydrogen atoms. It is to be understood that substitution at a given atom is limited by valency.

Throughout the definitions, the term “C_(n-m)” indicates a range which includes the endpoints, wherein n and m are integers and indicate the number of carbons. Examples include C₁₋₄, C₁₋₆, and the like.

As used herein, the term “C_(n-m) alkyl”, employed alone or in combination with other terms, refers to a saturated hydrocarbon group that may be straight-chain or branched, having n to m carbons.

Compounds as disclosed herein can be prepared by one skilled in the art according to preparatory routes known in the literature. Example synthetic methods for preparing compounds of the invention are provided in the Schemes 1, 2, and 3 below.

In one embodiment, a compound of Formula I can be prepared according to Scheme 1. Compound (i) can be formed by treating the anion of dithiane (i-b) with the Boc-protected Weinreb amide (i-a). Acid catalyzed treatment of (i) with thiosemicarbazide (i-c) affords compound (ii). S-alkylation and cyclization of (ii) under basic conditions yields the triazine (iii). Treatment with excess oxidant can convert the thioether of the triazine (iii) to sulfone (iv). Nucleophilic substitution of the sulfone (iv) with an amine (xxii) affords compound (v). The Boc group in compound (v) can be removed under standard conditions (e.g. using HCl, TFA, etc.) to give an amine (vi) which is further treated with a carboxylic acid (x), and a suitable coupling reagent such as HATU or BOP to give amide (vii). Cyclization followed by dehydration of (vii) in the presence of, e.g., phosphorous oxychloride, affords compound (viii). Selective bromination of (viii) using, e.g., NBS, yields compounds (ix) which are then directly treated with a boronic acid or ester (xi) under, e.g., standard Suzuki coupling conditions, followed by removal of protecting groups to afford compounds of Formula I, wherein X═N.

In another embodiment, a compound of Formula I can be prepared according to Scheme 2. For example, a glycine derivative (xii) can be protected to give compound (xiii). The Weinreb amide (xiv) may be formed from carboxylic acid (xiii) in a typical amide coupling reaction with N, O-dimethylhydroxylamine hydrochloride. The amide (xiv) may then react with the anion of dithiane (i-b) to give compound (xv). Acid catalyzed treatment of (xv) with thiosemicarbazide (i-c) affords compound (xvi). S-alkylation and cyclization of (xvi) under basic conditions yields the triazine (xvii). Treatment with excess oxidant can convert the thioether of the triazine (xvii) to sulfone (xviii). Nucleophilic substitution of the sulfone (xviii) with an amine (xxii) affords compound (xix). The Boc group in compound (xix) can be removed under standard conditions (e.g., using HCl, TFA, etc.) to give an amine (xx), which is further treated with a carboxylic acid (x), and a suitable coupling reagent, such as HATU or BOP, to give amide (xxi). Cyclization of amide (xxi) followed by dehydration in the presence of, e.g., phosphorous oxychloride, and final deprotections leads to compounds of Formula I, wherein X═N.

In another embodiment, compound of Formula I can be prepared according to Scheme 3. The Boc group of triazine (iii) can be removed under standard conditions (e.g., using HCl, TFA, etc.) to give an intermediate amine which is further treated with a carboxylic acid (x), and a suitable coupling reagent, such as HATU or BOP, to give amide (xxiii). Cyclization of amide (xxiii) followed by dehydration in the presence of, e.g., phosphorous oxychloride, affords compound (xxiv). Selective bromination of compound (xxiv) under typical conditions yields compounds (xxv). Treatment with excess oxidant can convert the thioether of the triazine (xxv) to sulfone (xxvi). Sulfone (xxvi) may be treated with a boronic acid or ester (xi) under, e.g., standard Suzuki coupling conditions, to give (xxvii). Nucleophilic substitution of the sulfone with amines (xxii) and final deprotection affords compounds of Formula I, wherein X═N. Alternatively, introduction of the amine (xxii) onto compound (xxvi) may be performed to give compound (ix). Finally compound (ix) may be subject to, e.g., Suzuki coupling conditions with a boronic acid or ester (xi) followed by deprotection to give compounds of Formula I, wherein X═N.

TAM Kinases

Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are cell surface proteins that transmit signals from the extracellular environment to the cell cytoplasm and nucleus to regulate cellular events such as survival, growth, proliferation, differentiation, adhesion and migration. All RTKs contain an extracellular ligand binding domain and a cytoplasmic protein tyrosine kinase domain. Ligand binding leads to the dimerization of RTKs, which triggers the activation of the cytoplasmic kinase and initiates downstream signal transduction pathways. RTKs can be classified into distinct subfamilies based on their sequence similarity. The TAM subfamily consists of three RTKs including TYRO3, AXL and MER (Graham et al., 2014, Nature reviews Cancer 14, 769-785; and Linger et al., 2008, Oncogene 32, 3420-3431). TAM kinases are characterized by an extracellular ligand binding domain consisting of two immunoglobulin-like domains and two fibronectin type III domains. Two ligands, growth arrest specific 6 (GAS6) and protein S (ProS), have been identified for TAM kinases. GAS6 can bind to and activate all three TAM kinases, while ProS is a ligand for MER and TYRO3 (Graham et al., 2014, Nature reviews Cancer 14, 769-785).

TAM kinases are over-expressed in many cancers and play important roles in tumor initiation and maintenance; therefore, TAM inhibition represents an attractive approach for targeting another class of oncogenic RTKs (Graham et al., 2014, Nature reviews Cancer 14, 769-785; and Linger et al., 2008, Oncogene 32, 3420-3431).

Axl was originally identified as a transforming gene from DNA of patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia (O'Bryan et al., 1991, Molecular and cellular biology 11, 5016-5031). GAS6 binds to Axl and induces subsequent auto-phosphorylation and activation of Axl tyrosine kinase. Axl activates several downstream signaling pathways including PI3K-Akt, Raf-MAPK, PLC-PKC (Feneyrolles et al., 2014, Molecular cancer therapeutics 13, 2141-2148; Linger et al., 2008, Oncogene 32, 3420-3431). AXL is over-expressed or amplified in a variety of malignancies including lung cancer, prostate cancer, colon cancer, breast cancer, melanoma, and renal cell carcinoma (Linger et al., 2008, Oncogene 32, 3420-3431). Over-expression of AXL is correlated with poor prognosis (Linger et al., 2008, Oncogene 32, 3420-3431). As a result, AXL activation promotes cancer cell survival, proliferation, angiogenesis, metastasis, and resistance to chemotherapy and targeted therapies. AXL knockdown or AXL antibody can inhibit the migration of breast cancer and NSCLC cancer in vitro, and blocked tumor growth in xenograft tumor models (Li et al., 2009, Oncogene 28, 3442-3455). In pancreatic cancer cells, inhibition of AXL decreased cell proliferation and survival (Koorstra et al., 2009, Cancer biology & therapy 8, 618-626). In prostate cancer, AXL inhibition decreased cell migration, invasion, and proliferation (Tai et al., 2008, Oncogene 27, 4044-4055). In addition, AXL over-expression or amplification is a major mechanism for resistance to EGFR inhibitors by lung cancer cells, and AXL inhibition can reverse the resistance (Zhang et al., 2012, Nature genetics 44, 852-860).

Mer was originally identified as a phospho-protein from a lymphoblastoid expression library (Graham et al., 1995, Oncogene 10, 2349-2359). Both GAS6 and ProS can bind to Mer and induce the phosphorylation and activation of Mer kinase (Lew et al., 2014. eLife, 3:e03385). Like Axl, Mer activation also conveys downstream signaling pathways including PI3K-Akt and Raf-MAPK (Linger et al., 2008, Oncogene 32, 3420-3431). MER is over-expressed in many cancers including multiple myeloma, gastric, prostate, breast, melanoma and rhabdomyosarcoma (Linger et al., 2008, Oncogene 32, 3420-3431). MER knockdown inhibits multiple myeloma cell growth in vitro and in xenograft models (Waizenegger et al., 2014, Leukemia, 1-9). In acute myeloid leukemia, MER knockdown induced apoptosis, decreased colony formation, and increased survival in a mouse model (Lee-Sherick et al., 2013, Oncogene 32, 5359-5368). MER inhibition increased apoptosis, decreased colony formation, increased chemo-sensitivity, and decreased tumor growth in NSCLC (Linger et al., 2013, Oncogene 32, 3420-3431). Similar effects are observed for MER knockdown in melanoma (Schlegel et al., 2013) and glioblastoma (Wang et al., 2013, Oncogene 32, 872-882).

Tyro3 was originally identified through a PCR-based cloning study (Lai and Lemke, 1991, Neuron 6, 691-704). Both ligands, GAS6 and ProS, can bind to and activate Tyro3. TYRO3 also plays a role in cancer growth and proliferation. TYRO3 is over-expressed in melanoma cells, and knockdown of TYRO3 induces apoptosis in these cells (Demarest et al., 2013, Biochemistry 52, 3102-3118).

In addition to their role as transforming oncogenes, TAM kinases have emerged as potential immune-oncology targets. The durable clinical responses to immune checkpoint blockade observed in cancer patients clearly indicate that the immune system plays a critical role in tumor initiation and maintenance. Genetic mutations from cancer cells can provide a diverse set of antigens that the immune cells can use to distinguish tumor cells from their normal counterpart. However, cancer cells have evolved multiple mechanisms to evade host immune surveillance. In fact, one hallmark of human cancer is its ability to avoid immune destruction. Cancer cells can induce an immune-suppressive microenvironment by promoting the formation of M2 tumor associated macrophages, myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSC), and regulatory T cells. Cancer cells can also produce high levels of immune checkpoint proteins such as PD-L1 to induce T cell anergy or exhaustion. It is now clear that tumors co-opt certain immune-checkpoint pathways as a major mechanism of immune resistance (Pardoll, 2012, Cancer 12, 252-264). Antagonizing these negative regulators of T-cell function with antibodies has shown striking efficacy in clinical trials of a number of malignancies including advanced melanoma, non-small cell lung and bladder cancer. While these therapies have shown encouraging results, not all patients mount an anti-tumor response suggesting that other immune-suppressive pathways may also be important.

TAM kinases have been shown to function as checkpoints for immune activation in the tumor milieu. All TAM kinases are expressed in NK cells, and TAM kinases inhibit the anti-tumor activity of NK cells. LDC1267, a small molecule TAM inhibitor, activates NK cells, and blocks metastasis in tumor models with different histologies (Paolino et al., 2014, Nature 507, 508-512). In addition, MER kinase promotes the activity of tumor associated macrophages through the increased secretion of immune suppressive cytokines such as IL10 and IL4, and decreased production of immune activating cytokines such as IL12 (Cook et al., 2013, The Journal of clinical investigation 123, 3231-3242). MER inhibition has been shown to reverse this effect. As a result, MER knockout mice are resistant to PyVmT tumor formation (Cook et al., 2013, The Journal of clinical investigation 123, 3231-3242). The role of TAM kinases in the immune response is also supported by knockout mouse studies. TAM triple knockout mice (TKO) are viable. However, these mice displayed signs of autoimmune disease including enlarged spleen and lymph nodes, autoantibody production, swollen footpad and joints, skin lesions, and systemic lupus erythematosus (Lu and Lemke, 2001, Science 293, 306-311). This is consistent with the knockout phenotype for approved immune-oncology targets such as CTLA4 and PD-1. Both CTLA-4 and PD-1 knockout mice showed signs of autoimmune disease, and these mice die within a few weeks after birth (Chambers et al., 1997, Immunity 7, 885-895; and Nishimura et al., 2001, Science 291, 319-322).

TAM inhibition will have not only direct activity against neoplastic cells, but also activate the anti-cancer immune response. Thus TAM inhibitors represent an attractive approach for the treatment of cancer as single agents. In addition, TAM inhibitors may be combined with other targeted therapies, chemotherapies, radiation, or immunotherapeutic agents to achieve maximal efficacy in the clinic.

Pharmaceutical Formulations and Dosage Forms

When employed as pharmaceuticals, the compounds of the invention can be administered in the form of pharmaceutical compositions which refers to a combination of a compound of the invention, or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt, and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. These compositions can be prepared in a manner well known in the pharmaceutical art, and can be administered by a variety of routes, depending upon whether local or systemic treatment is desired and upon the area to be treated. Administration may be topical (including ophthalmic and to mucous membranes including intranasal, vaginal and rectal delivery), pulmonary (e.g., by inhalation or insufflation of powders or aerosols, including by nebulizer; intratracheal, intranasal, epidermal and transdermal), ocular, oral or parenteral. Methods for ocular delivery can include topical administration (eye drops), subconjunctival, periocular or intravitreal injection or introduction by balloon catheter or ophthalmic inserts surgically placed in the conjunctival sac. Parenteral administration includes intravenous, intraarterial, subcutaneous, intraperitoneal, or intramuscular injection or infusion; or intracranial, e.g., intrathecal or intraventricular, administration. Parenteral administration can be in the form of a single bolus dose, or may be, for example, by a continuous perfusion pump. Pharmaceutical compositions and formulations for topical administration may include transdermal patches, ointments, lotions, creams, gels, drops, suppositories, sprays, liquids and powders. Conventional pharmaceutical carriers, aqueous, powder or oily bases, thickeners and the like may be necessary or desirable.

This invention also includes pharmaceutical compositions which contain, as the active ingredient, one or more of the compounds of the invention above in combination with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. In making the compositions of the invention, the active ingredient is typically mixed with an excipient, diluted by an excipient or enclosed within such a carrier in the form of, for example, a capsule, sachet, paper, or other container. When the excipient serves as a diluent, it can be a solid, semi-solid, or liquid material, which acts as a vehicle, carrier or medium for the active ingredient. Thus, the compositions can be in the form of tablets, pills, powders, lozenges, sachets, cachets, elixirs, suspensions, emulsions, solutions, syrups, aerosols (as a solid or in a liquid medium), ointments containing, for example, up to 10% by weight of the active compound, soft and hard gelatin capsules, suppositories, sterile injectable solutions, and sterile packaged powders.

In preparing a formulation, the active compound can be milled to provide the appropriate particle size prior to combining with the other ingredients. If the active compound is substantially insoluble, it can be milled to a particle size of less than 200 mesh. If the active compound is substantially water soluble, the particle size can be adjusted by milling to provide a substantially uniform distribution in the formulation, e.g. about 40 mesh.

The Some examples of suitable excipients include lactose, dextrose, sucrose, sorbitol, mannitol, starches, gum acacia, calcium phosphate, alginates, tragacanth, gelatin, calcium silicate, microcrystalline cellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, cellulose, water, syrup, and methyl cellulose. The formulations can additionally include: lubricating agents such as talc, magnesium stearate, and mineral oil; wetting agents; emulsifying and suspending agents; preserving agents such as methyl- and propylhydroxy-benzoates; sweetening agents; and flavoring agents. The compositions of the invention can be formulated so as to provide quick, sustained or delayed release of the active ingredient after administration to the patient by employing procedures known in the art.

The compositions can be formulated in a unit dosage form, each dosage containing from about 5 to about 100 mg, more usually about 10 to about 30 mg, of the active ingredient. The term “unit dosage forms” refers to physically discrete units suitable as unitary dosages for human subjects and other mammals, each unit containing a predetermined quantity of active material calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect, in association with a suitable pharmaceutical excipient.

The active compound can be effective over a wide dosage range and is generally administered in a pharmaceutically effective amount. It will be understood, however, that the amount of the compound actually administered will usually be determined by a physician, according to the relevant circumstances, including the condition to be treated, the chosen route of administration, the actual compound administered, the age, weight, and response of the individual patient, the severity of the patient's symptoms, and the like.

For preparing solid compositions such as tablets, the principal active ingredient is mixed with a pharmaceutical excipient to form a solid pre-formulation composition containing a homogeneous mixture of a compound of the present invention. When referring to these pre-formulation compositions as homogeneous, the active ingredient is typically dispersed evenly throughout the composition so that the composition can be readily subdivided into equally effective unit dosage forms such as tablets, pills and capsules. This solid pre-formulation is then subdivided into unit dosage forms of the type described above containing from, for example, 0.1 to about 500 mg of the active ingredient of the present invention.

The tablets or pills of the present invention can be coated or otherwise compounded to provide a dosage form affording the advantage of prolonged action. For example, the tablet or pill can comprise an inner dosage and an outer dosage component, the latter being in the form of an envelope over the former. The two components can be separated by an enteric layer which serves to resist disintegration in the stomach and permit the inner component to pass intact into the duodenum or to be delayed in release. A variety of materials can be used for such enteric layers or coatings, such materials including a number of polymeric acids and mixtures of polymeric acids with such materials as shellac, cetyl alcohol, and cellulose acetate.

The liquid forms in which the compounds and compositions of the present invention can be incorporated for administration orally or by injection include aqueous solutions, suitably flavored syrups, aqueous or oil suspensions, and flavored emulsions with edible oils such as cottonseed oil, sesame oil, coconut oil, or peanut oil, as well as elixirs and similar pharmaceutical vehicles.

The Compositions for inhalation or insufflation include solutions and suspensions in pharmaceutically acceptable, aqueous or organic solvents, or mixtures thereof, and powders. The liquid or solid compositions may contain suitable pharmaceutically acceptable excipients as described supra. In some embodiments, the compositions are administered by the oral or nasal respiratory route for local or systemic effect. Compositions in can be nebulized by use of inert gases. Nebulized solutions may be breathed directly from the nebulizing device or the nebulizing device can be attached to a face masks tent, or intermittent positive pressure breathing machine. Solution, suspension, or powder compositions can be administered orally or nasally from devices which deliver the formulation in an appropriate manner.

The amount of compound or composition administered to a patient will vary depending upon what is being administered, the purpose of the administration, such as prophylaxis or therapy, the state of the patient, the manner of administration, and the like. In therapeutic applications, compositions can be administered to a patient already suffering from a disease in an amount sufficient to cure or at least partially arrest the symptoms of the disease and its complications. Effective doses will depend on the disease condition being treated as well as by the judgment of the attending clinician depending upon factors such as the severity of the disease, the age, weight and general condition of the patient, and the like.

The compositions administered to a patient can be in the form of pharmaceutical compositions described above. These compositions can be sterilized by conventional sterilization techniques, or may be sterile filtered. Aqueous solutions can be packaged for use as is, or lyophilized, the lyophilized preparation being combined with a sterile aqueous carrier prior to administration. The pH of the compound preparations typically will be between 3 and 11, more preferably from 5 to 9 and most preferably from 7 to 8. It will be understood that use of certain of the foregoing excipients, carriers, or stabilizers will result in the formation of pharmaceutical salts.

The therapeutic dosage of the compounds of the present invention can vary according to, for example, the particular use for which the treatment is made, the manner of administration of the compound, the health and condition of the patient, and the judgment of the prescribing physician. The proportion or concentration of a compound of the invention in a pharmaceutical composition can vary depending upon a number of factors including dosage, chemical characteristics (e.g., hydrophobicity), and the route of administration. For example, the compounds of the invention can be provided in an aqueous physiological buffer solution containing about 0.1 to about 10% w/v of the compound for parenteral administration. Some typical dose ranges are from about 1 □g/kg to about 1 g/kg of body weight per day. In some embodiments, the dose range is from about 0.01 mg/kg to about 100 mg/kg of body weight per day. The dosage is likely to depend on such variables as the type and extent of progression of the disease or disorder, the overall health status of the particular patient, the relative biological efficacy of the compound selected, formulation of the excipient, and its route of administration. Effective doses can be extrapolated from dose-response curves derived from in vitro or animal model test systems.

The compounds of the invention can also be formulated in combination with one or more additional active ingredients which can include any pharmaceutical agent such as anti-viral agents, vaccines, antibodies, immune enhancers, immune suppressants, anti-inflammatory agents and the like.

Labeled Compounds and Assay Methods

Another aspect of the present invention relates to fluorescent dye, spin label, heavy metal or radio-labeled compounds of the invention that would be useful not only in imaging but also in assays, both in vitro and in vivo, for localizing and quantitating the TAM kinases in tissue samples, including human, and for identifying TAM kinases ligands by inhibition binding of a labeled compound. Accordingly, the present invention includes TAM kinases assays that contain such labeled compounds.

The present invention further includes isotopically-labeled compounds of the invention. An “isotopically” or “radio-labeled” compound is a compound of the invention where one or more atoms are replaced or substituted by an atom having an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number typically found in nature (i.e., naturally occurring). Suitable radionuclides that may be incorporated in compounds of the present invention include but are not limited to ²H (also written as D for deuterium), ³H (also written as T for tritium), ¹¹C, ¹³C, ¹⁴C, ¹³N, ¹⁵N, ¹⁵O, ¹⁷O, ¹⁸O, ¹⁸F, ³⁵S, ³⁶Cl, ⁸²Br, ⁷⁵Br, ⁷⁶Br, ⁷⁷Br, ¹²³I, ¹²⁴I, ¹²⁵I and ¹³¹I. The radionuclide that is incorporated in the instant radio-labeled compounds will depend on the specific application of that radio-labeled compound. For example, for in vitro TAM kinases labeling and competition assays, compounds that incorporate ³H, ¹⁴C, ⁸²Br, ¹²⁵I ¹³¹I, or ³⁵S will generally be most useful. For radio-imaging applications ¹¹C, ¹⁸F, ¹²⁵I, ¹²³I, ¹²⁴I, ¹³¹I, ⁷⁵Br, ⁷⁶Br or ⁷⁷Br will generally be most useful.

It is understood that a “radio-labeled” or “labeled compound” is a compound that has incorporated at least one radionuclide. In some embodiments the radionuclide is selected from the group consisting of ³H, ¹⁴C, ¹²⁵I, ³⁵S and ⁸²Br.

Synthetic methods for incorporating radio-isotopes into organic compounds are applicable to compounds of the invention and are well known in the art.

Compounds of the invention can also include all isotopes of atoms occurring in the intermediates or final compounds. Isotopes include those atoms having the same atomic number but different mass numbers. For example, isotopes of hydrogen include tritium and deuterium. One or more constituent atoms of the compounds of the invention can be replaced or substituted with isotopes of the atoms in natural or non-natural abundance. In some embodiments, the compound includes at least one deuterium atom. For example, one or more hydrogen atoms in a compound of the present disclosure can be replaced or substituted by deuterium. In some embodiments, the compound includes two or more deuterium atoms. In some embodiments, the compound includes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 deuterium atoms. Synthetic methods for including isotopes into organic compounds are known in the art.

A radio-labeled compound of the invention can be used in a screening assay to identify/evaluate compounds. In general terms, a newly synthesized or identified compound (i.e., test compound) can be evaluated for its ability to reduce binding of the radio-labeled compound of the invention to the TAM kinases. Accordingly, the ability of a test compound to compete with the radio-labeled compound for binding to the TAM kinases directly correlates to its binding affinity.

Kits

The present invention also includes pharmaceutical kits useful, for example, in the treatment or prevention of TAM-associated diseases or disorders, obesity, diabetes and other diseases referred to herein which include one or more containers containing a pharmaceutical composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the invention. Such kits can further include, if desired, one or more of various conventional pharmaceutical kit components, such as, for example, containers with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, additional containers, etc., as will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art. Instructions, either as inserts or as labels, indicating quantities of the components to be administered, guidelines for administration, and/or guidelines for mixing the components, can also be included in the kit.

The invention will be described in greater detail by way of specific examples. The following examples are offered for illustrative purposes, and are not intended to limit the invention in any manner. Those of skill in the art will readily recognize a variety of non-critical parameters which can be changed or modified to yield essentially the same results. The compounds of the Examples were found to be inhibitors of TAM kinases as described below.
